This week, Lois challenged us to make a step card. I LOVE to make these!

I used all Rubbernecker images from the section Music, Time, and Bikes. The "Dapper on Bike" is such a great vintage guy image!! And the pocket watches really seemed to go with it really well. I hope you like it!!

Today I am the hostess for the Cornish Heritage Farms Challenge. I chose a summer theme.

I love to do the radiating rays of the sun, and I hope you can tell that's a crab crawling around the sand.

Please join us every other Tuesday for the CHF.

I used my cb and Swiss Dots EF, some twine, sponging, torn paper, and masking for this card. The crab is a digi, #227C. Take a look at all the images HERE, and don't forget to take a look at what the rest of the DT has done.

Fold card to A2 size (5 ½” x 4 ¼”). Place in cutter, and cut from fold at 1 ½” down to 1 ½”. On Scor-Pal, score at 1 ½” and 3”. Turn card over, and score at 1 1/2" and 3" as before. (Be sure NOT to score the left side!)

This is my LAST posting for a while. The challenge was to use tissue. I looked for some tissue paper, and when I couldn't find any, I decided to use kleenex tissue.

The technique is faux silk, and I think it came out pretty well.

No stamping, but plenty of die cuts, and some punches and pearls.

Got a call from the surgeon's office, and I am to be at the hospital at 6:45 tomorrow morning. I'll be glad to eventually be rid of the pain in my thumb, but not the recuperation I know will be lengthy.

Here are the two cards I made for today. This one using Island Life from MFP - A Heinrich Co. is for the Clean And Simple challenge. We were to use navy, olive and white. Check!

This one is for the Technique Lovers Challenge. I used another MFP set, Silly Shells, for embellishing the sunshine rays as asked.

this may be my last posting for a while. My youngest grandson is here for his vacation until Thursday night, and Friday morning I have hand surgery. I will be in a cast for two months, and of course it's my dominant hand, so that's it for the summer for me.

Have a fabulous summer, wherever you are, and I'll see you when I can stamp again. Hugs to you all.

The Stampin' stisterhood Challenge for this month is to make a card using THIS photo for inspiration.

I used the Kittie Kit called Beach (from Rubbernecker Stamps). I added some die cut clouds and a shell with a pearl in place of the starfish. The sentiment from Rubbernecker (647-07 2012 Sentiments #2 - Memories and Flowers) uses only the last two words.

Please join us by linking your card HERE, and join us again next month!
